Humanities Data from Archival Documents
This tool has been carefully designed to include many pre-populated fields with drop-down menus and auto-complete suggestions to facilitate rapid and accurate data entry from book history-themed archival documents. Currently, it is being used to enter further data into the French Book Trade in Enlightenment Europe project. The first such data set relates to the stamping and legalisation (estampillage) of an estimated 450,000 pirate copies of 2,700 items by French government inspectors in the years 1777-1779.
